A Photolabile Carboxyl Protecting Group for Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis.

ABSTRACT: A new kind of photolabile protecting group (PLPG) for carboxyl moieties was designed and synthesized as the linker between resin and peptide. This group can be used for the protection of amino acid carboxyl groups. The peptide was synthesized on Nph (2-hydroxy-3-(2-nitrophenyl)-heptanoic acid)-derivatized resins and could be cleaved under UV exposure, thus avoiding the necessity for harsh acid-mediated resin cleavage. The PLPG has been successfully used for solid-phase synthesis of peptides.

Methoxy-Substituted Nitrodibenzofuran-Based Protecting Group with an Improved Two-Photon Action Cross-Section for Thiol Protection in Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis.

Project description:Photoremovable caging groups are useful for biological applications because the deprotection process can be initiated by illumination with light without the necessity of adding additional reagents such as acids or bases that can perturb biological activity. In solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), the most common photoremovable group used for thiol protection is the o-nitrobenzyl group and related analogues. In earlier work, we explored the use of the nitrodibenzofuran (NDBF) group for thiol protection and found it to exhibit a faster rate toward UV photolysis relative to simple nitroveratryl-based protecting groups and a useful two-photon cross-section. Here, we describe the synthesis of a new NDBF-based protecting group bearing a methoxy substituent and use it to prepare a protected form of cysteine suitable for SPPS. This reagent was then used to assemble two biologically relevant peptides and characterize their photolysis kinetics in both UV- and two-photon-mediated reactions; a two-photon action cross-section of 0.71-1.4 GM for the new protecting group was particularly notable. Finally, uncaging of these protected peptides by either UV or two-photon activation was used to initiate their subsequent enzymatic processing by the enzyme farnesyltransferase. These experiments highlight the utility of this new protecting group for SPPS and biological experiments.

Sustainable Peptide Synthesis Enabled by a Transient Protecting Group.

Project description:The growing interest in synthetic peptides has prompted the development of viable methods for their sustainable production. Currently, large amounts of toxic solvents are required for peptide assembly from protected building blocks, and switching to water as a reaction medium remains a major hurdle in peptide chemistry. We report an aqueous solid-phase peptide synthesis strategy that is based on a water-compatible 2,7-disulfo-9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Smoc) protecting group. This approach enables peptide assembly under aqueous conditions, real-time monitoring of building block coupling, and efficient postsynthetic purification. The procedure for the synthesis of all natural and several non-natural Smoc-protected amino acids is described, as well as the assembly of 22 peptide sequences and the fundamental issues of SPPS, including the protecting group strategy, coupling and cleavage efficiency, stability under aqueous conditions, and crucial side reactions.

Computational Design, Synthesis, and Photochemistry of Cy7-PPG, an Efficient NIR-Activated Photolabile Protecting Group for Therapeutic Applications.

Project description:Photolabile Protecting Groups (PPGs) are molecular tools used, for example, in photopharmacology for the activation of drugs with light, enabling spatiotemporal control over their potency. Yet, red-shifting of PPG activation wavelengths into the NIR range, which penetrates the deepest in tissue, has often yielded inefficient or insoluble molecules, hindering the use of PPGs in the clinic. To solve this problem, we report herein a novel concept in PPG design, by transforming clinically-applied NIR-dyes with suitable molecular orbital configurations into new NIR-PPGs using computational approaches. Using this method, we demonstrate how Cy7, a class of NIR dyes possessing ideal properties (NIR-absorption, high molecular absorptivity, excellent aqueous solubility) can be successfully converted into Cy7-PPG. We report a facile synthesis towards Cy7-PPG from accessible precursors and confirm its excellent properties as the most redshifted oxygen-independent NIR-PPG to date (λmax =746 nm).

Solid-phase peptide synthesis and solid-phase fragment coupling mediated by isonitriles.

Project description:The synthesis of polypeptides on solid phase via mediation by isonitriles is described. The acyl donor is a thioacid, which presumably reacts with the isonitrile to generate a thio-formimidate carboxylate mixed anhydride intermediate. Applications of this chemistry to reiterative solid-phase peptide synthesis as well as solid-phase fragment coupling are described.

Recyclable hypervalent-iodine-mediated solid-phase peptide synthesis and cyclic peptide synthesis.

Project description:The system of the hypervalent iodine(III) reagent FPID and (4-MeOC6H4)3P was successfully applied to solid-phase peptide synthesis and cyclic peptide synthesis. Four peptides with biological activities were synthesized through SPPS and the bioactive cyclic heptapeptide pseudostellarin D was obtained via solution-phase peptide synthesis. It is worth noting that FPID can be readily regenerated after the peptide coupling reaction.

Rapid one-pot iterative diselenide-selenoester ligation using a novel coumarin-based photolabile protecting group.

Project description:The development of an iterative one-pot peptide ligation strategy is described that capitalises on the rapid and efficient nature of the diselenide-selenoester ligation reaction, together with photodeselenisation chemistry. This ligation strategy hinged on the development of a novel photolabile protecting group for the side chain of selenocysteine, namely the 7-diethylamino-3-methyl coumarin (DEAMC) moiety. Deprotection of this DEAMC group can be effected in a mild, reagent-free manner using visible light (λ = 450 nm) without deleterious deselenisation of selenocysteine residues, thus enabling a subsequent ligation reaction without purification. The use of this DEAMC-protected selenocysteine in iterative DSL chemistry is highlighted through the efficient one-pot syntheses of 60- and 80-residue fragments of mucin-1 as well as apolipoprotein CIII in just 2-4 hours.

Tetrahydropyranyl: A Non-aromatic, Mild-Acid-Labile Group for Hydroxyl Protection in Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis.

Project description:The use of the tetrahydropyranyl (Thp) group for the protection of serine and threonine side-chain hydroxyl groups in solid-phase peptide synthesis has not been widely investigated. Ser/Thr side-chain hydroxyl protection with this acid-labile and non-aromatic moiety is presented here. Although Thp reacts with free carboxylic acids, it can be concluded that to introduce Thp ethers at the hydroxyl groups of N-protected Ser and Thr, protection of the C-terminal carboxyl group is unnecessary due to the lability of Thp esters. Thp-protected Ser/Thr-containing tripeptides are synthesized and the removal of Thp studied in low concentrations of trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of cation scavengers. Given its general stability to most non-acidic reagents, improved solubility of its conjugates and ease with which it can be removed, Thp emerges as an effective protecting group for the hydroxyl groups of Ser and Thr in solid-phase peptide synthesis.

<i>N,N</i>-Dimethylaminoxy Carbonyl, a Polar Protecting Group for Efficient Peptide Synthesis.

Project description:Peptide coupling with minimal protection is one of the desired methods for the synthesis of peptides and proteins. To achieve regioselective amide bond formation, side chain protection is often essential; however, protecting groups potentially diminish peptide solubility and render the polar polyamide chain amphipathic due to their apolar nature. In this manuscript, we describe a new protecting group, N,N-dimethylaminoxy carbonyl (Dmaoc), and its use in peptide coupling reactions. The Dmaoc group has a relatively polar character compared to the Boc group, which is a conventional protecting group for the N ε-amine of Lys residues. This polar protecting group is removable by reduction in the buffer containing (±)-dithiothreitol (DTT). Furthermore, the Dmaoc group proved compatible with peptide ligation strategies featuring the activation of N-acyl diaminobenzamides (Dbz) with sodium nitrate to generate the respective benzotriazole leaving group. The Dmaoc/Dbz strategy described in this manuscript provides a new method for the chemical synthesis of peptides.

Synthesis of fluorous photolabile aldehyde and carbamate and alkyl carbamate protecting groups for carbohydrate-associated amines.

Project description:Two new fluorous photolabile-protecting groups (FNBC and FNB) and a new base-labile protecting group (FOC) for the masking of amines are reported. The protecting groups survive a wide range of common reaction conditions used in oligosaccharide synthesis and render the attached molecules amenable to fluorous solid-phase extraction (FSPE). A glycosyl acceptor containing the FNB group is shown to be useful in the synthesis of carbohydrates tagged with free deactivated secondary amines.

Enhanced epimerization of glycosylated amino acids during solid-phase peptide synthesis.

Project description:Glycopeptides are extremely useful for basic research and clinical applications, but access to structurally defined glycopeptides is limited by the difficulties in synthesizing this class of compounds. In this study, we demonstrate that many common peptide coupling conditions used to prepare O-linked glycopeptides result in substantial amounts of epimerization at the ? position. In fact, epimerization resulted in up to 80% of the non-natural epimer, indicating that it can be the major product in some reactions. Through a series of mechanistic studies, we demonstrate that the enhanced epimerization relative to nonglycosylated amino acids is due to a combination of factors, including a faster rate of epimerization, an energetic preference for the unnatural epimer over the natural epimer, and a slower overall rate of peptide coupling. In addition, we demonstrate that use of 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine (TMP) as the base in peptide couplings produces glycopeptides with high efficiency and low epimerization. The information and improved reaction conditions will facilitate the preparation of glycopeptides as therapeutic compounds and vaccine antigens.
